Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego to Host Annual Golf Marathon


An experienced entrepreneur and financial professional, Jason Groth helps guide clients towards their financial objectives in his role as a registered representative at Reliant Capital Group. Outside of his professional pursuits, Jason Groth enjoys serving his community through his participation with such charitable organizations as Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of San Diego County.

The San Diego County chapter of BBBS helps connect local children to the mentors that can help them reach a more successful future. In order to continually provide these services, the organization relies on the support of the local community. One of the best ways in which individuals can help BBBS of San Diego County is through events such as the annual Golf Marathon, which will be celebrating its 24th year in 2017. 

On May 5th, BBBS of San Diego County will invite its guests to participate in a day of golf and other entertaining activities at the Sycuan Golf Resort. The day’s events will begin at 6:30am with a shotgun start, after which participants can play in either half or full marathon rounds of golf. 

Each player helps raise money for BBBS of San Diego County by running online fundraising pages. Those who collect the most donations will receive prizes during the Golf Marathon’s evening awards celebration. This year, the organization hopes to raise $170,000 in an effort to connect 100 children with mentors.
